... for the "programming side" of things (I have 2 of them, he has one as well).
As a shooter, you would want to be up-range from the targets, so having something portable with a web interface was a great solution so nobody would have to be "in the line of fire". The iPod Touch and the ioBridge module I used in another recent project. Of course, why build a custom target enclosure when I could snap one together with my Construx.

iPod touch controlled DIY Airsoft Target Range: Video Demo
SlashGear —
... We’re seeing more and more DIY electronics projects based on Arduino and ioBridge microprocessor modules here on SlashGear, as people discover how straightforward it can be to put together ostensibly complex prototypes. For instance, how about an affordable moving airsoft target range, for some indoor shooting practise: Arduino and ioBridge based, it’s all controlled through a custom iPod touch web interface, so that nobody has to draw the short-straw and enter the line of fire to get things going. ...
Automated shooting range

... [Steve] was discussing airsoft with a friend when he came up with this idea. His friend was lamenting the lack of “action” style targets for their airsoft hobby. [Steve] took this as an opportunity to make his own automated target system. The targets themselves are made from ...
Target Range Controlled By iPod touch
Ubergizmo —
... Just how many things can your iPod touch do? Well, if you have the brains and determination like Polymythic, you're able to come up with an iPod touch-controlled target range with a little help from friends like an Arduino microcontroller board, an ioBridge panel and three servos. Here's a brief description from Polymythic on how this project came about. ...
